D Correct answer
Explanation

While all the listed problems are significant for a town, scarcity of drinking water is a basic survival need that must take highest priority. Without adequate drinking water, public health and life itself are directly threatened, making it more urgent than traffic issues, drainage problems, or infrastructure gaps. Access to potable water is a fundamental human right and necessity.
